TIL 5-year-old Hind Rajab, who after surviving a terrorist attack on her family's car, spent hours on the phone begging for help. The ambulance sent for rescue was also targeted and everyone died - Lemmy.World

The recording of the 3-hour long phone call wasn’t enough to make the story of her and her rescuers’ deaths a major headline in most Western media. The terrorist group denied the attack despite audio and photographic evidence and the murderers weren’t charged and continue their happy life killing other people.

That is the single most depressing title ending I have read.

Definitely don’t look into the history of genocide then, because there are dozens of them in recorded history, and every single one is littered with the most indefensible horrors imaginable.

Also, Macklemore released a song titled after the resulting student protests, not long after.

Willful ignorance. Should be played on national radio at noon, everywhere.

Opposing the wholesale slaughter of a 5 year old girl, her family, and the paramedics trying to help her is antisemitic! For shame!

You know despite that being quite obviously sarcastic, you can never be too careful nowadays.

So I urge everyone to use /s in like 90% of even the cases where you think it’s not needed. If it’s less needed then maybe just do an ^/s

Sometimes sarcasm is so ridiculously obvious I refuse to use /s. If people ever become stupid enough that more of them don’t recognize it it than do, I’ll just refrain from using it at all.

Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views

It’s not that you’re wrong about you not being able to be mistaken about your own, and that obviously you share view which coincide with a lot of people.

But you can’t pretend like we can’t imagine that there would actually be a person who would seriously write that. Maybe perhaps more like on Facebook, but times evolve. We’re not all 20-year old tights wearing linux nerds. Some of us are in our thirties.

By “terrorist attack”, do you mean state terrorism?

Because both the original attack and the murder of the paramedics were perpetrated by the IOF.

Thank you. I didn’t know this back story for the title of the Macklemore song Hind’s Hall.
Yes, the IOF is widely recognized as a terrorist group who is responsible for the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
You should mention that the terrorists in question were the IDF, because unfortunately not all people will make that connection.
This happened over a _year ago??_
Stories like this are why I’m pretty sure our species will eventually destroy itself.
Yup, and that was before I read history books for fun. Nothing will make you more generally pessimistic than broadening your knowledge of our species’ history.
We’re fucking monsters more often than we get our shit together, that’s for sure.
This is enough to lose any faith on the mankind. There are enough of us who are so obsessed with power that, they see everyone as just either pawns or obstacles. Even, people who just want to live their lives. Fuck these power-hungry, genocidal assholes.
My taxes went to killing her
Murdered with the help of your government

Bhar, who had Down syndrome, autism, and speech difficulties, was unable to move without assistance from his family… They stated that Israeli forces raided the house where they were besieged on 3 July 2024; the forces included a combat dog which mauled Bhar’s arm and chest. Israeli forces then separated Bhar from them, giving assurances that he would be treated by a military doctor, and later forced them to leave the house. When the family returned to the house a week later, they found Bhar’s bloodied, decaying body on the floor and a tourniquet on his arm.

They just started shouting at a clearly mentally disabled man. When he got confused and didn’t follow the orders they barked at hin, they had a dog maul him to death.
